Hospital Surgical Unit in Major Crisis
The Kandy Hospital, which is one of the major teaching hospitals
in Sri Lanka with over 77 wards and 3000 in-patients, is

to conduct six surgeries simultaneously and facilitated
over 2,000 surgeries every month was housed in a dilapidated
building over 100 years old in the centre of the hospital

Agriculture
Department and Encroachers Block Gannoruwa Road Project

The Director General of Agriculture refuses to give
a strip of land from the vast acres that his department
owns in Gannoruwa to widen the road that links Peradeniya
with Getembe via the new bridge at Gannoruwa. Individuals
who have constructed commercial buildings on government
land in the first six hundred meter stretch from Peradeniya
town on that road use political influence to prevent
the Road Development Authority (RDA) from implementing
the road widening scheme on the stretch that they occupy.
This in short is what prevents the construction of a
modern four-lane highway linking Peradeniya and Getembe.

Heritage
Several
municipal councilors across party lines have questioned
the legitimacy of considering some of the most prominent
colonial buildings of the Kandy city such as the Queen's
Hotel and the Bogambara Prison as a part of our architectural
heritage. As the proceedings of the last KMC meeting reported
elsewhere in this edition of The Kandy News reveal the comments
were varied. One member even questioned the need to preserve
the Bogambara Prison building claiming that it only signified
the subjugation of Sri Lankans to colonial yoke.
